Just a few short years ago, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick was largely considered the best in the game at the position.
The perennial All-Pro and Pro Bowler was a takeaway artist, wreaking havoc on opposing offenses week after week.
Since then, Fitzpatrick has taken a downturn in his career, struggling to create turnovers and those impactful moments on the field. Some of it has been his fault, while much of it has seemingly been the scheme and the usage of the veteran safety from an alignment and responsibility aspect.
Now, Fitzpatrick has more question about him than answers, which has him outside of the top 15 at the safety position in Pro Football Focus’ rankings ahead of the season.
